Removal of ID Information
My user name is 7Jim7.

However, at the following history page,

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comma_Johanneum&action=history

my identity is shown as

2601:703:100:6fe0:ca2a:14ff:fe1a:e2f6

at 20:07 and 20:03 for September 7, 2016, because I thought I was logged in, but apparently I wasn’t, when I made an edit to the article (adding an English translation of the Greek).

I don’t know what that identity means, but could you please remove it, if you would, just in case it has personal information regarding my computer.

Thank you.

Jim — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:703:100:6FE0:CA2A:14FF:FE1A:E2F6 (talk) 20:46, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Oops! There it is again.

2601:703:100:6FE0:CA2A:14FF:FE1A:E2F6 (talk) 20:48, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

And again.

Wait a minute. Let's try this.

7Jim7 (talk) 20:49, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

That's better.


 * Hi your IP address is what is used to identify you if you're not logged in. It won't give out any personal information about you. What it will tell us is which network you are on and whereabouts in the world (roughly) you are editing from which will be based on the server information provided by your network. That's really about it.


 * Would you like me to see if your edit still qualifies? 5 albert square (talk) 02:11, 10 September 2016 (UTC)


 * An IP address is personal enough that I don’t want it to be shown. I was hoping that you could remove it, if you would, from that history page.


 * https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comma_Johanneum&action=history


 * Whatever that number (2601:703:100:6fe0:ca2a:14ff:fe1a:e2f6) is at 20:03 and 20:07 on 7 September 2016 on that history page, it doesn’t look like and IP address to me.


 * Two days earlier (08:42, 5 September 2016) on that same history page, someone else did an edit, leaving a number (83.215.129.87) as an identifier. Now, that looks like an IP address to me.


 * Whatever that number (2601:703:100:6fe0:ca2a:14ff:fe1a:e2f6) is, I’m asking for it to be removed from that history page, if you would. 7Jim7 (talk) 04:08, 12 September 2016 (UTC)


 * PS: The edit that I performed on that article appears to be OK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 7Jim7 (talk • contribs) 04:11, 12 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi, it really is just your IP address. Nothing to be concerned about. But I have deleted it for you. 5 albert square (talk) 20:15, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

An article for speedy deletion
I marked Geeksters for speedy deletion for not having any references. If you can delete it. That would help Wikipedia. I also think it spams links to external websites. Thanks Gary &#34;Roach&#34; Sanderson (talk) 19:18, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
